Vancouver sound-adventurers No Gold have let-go the delicate new dub-fused jam “Good and Bad” – just premiered on Fader.
With haunting organs, thuddy bass and Whomadewho-esque vocals, the band step away from the previous tropi-cool vibes and down a more austere route.
Jack had already mentioned the possibility of the sound-change mid last year so its exciting to see the fruition and execution!

Richard X, the producer behind MIA, Kelis and the Sugababes believes leaks, like those recently of Lana Del Rey and The Tings Tings new LPs is due to crazed fans and not piracy rings.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, Richard X explained that from his experience, people can leak albums after disguising themselves as members of the music industry, so that people will send them unreleased material.
He went further in saying it was “the fan-driven mentality, and rightly so, is that they want to hear new things and will do anything to get the exclusive. I personally don’t think it’s a big evil piracy network behind it all.”
In essence we agree, the initial leaks are from those who feel the need to share, because of somethings worth but the eventual spread can by fast-tracked due to popular torrenting sites like What.cd and Torrent Freak.
Is there really a sure-fire way of stopping albums from leaking too early? What do you think?

This week the Young Turks label have taken over Sydneys FBI Radio 94.5 for an hourly installment every midday.
They are in Australia touring with the national Laneway Festival that is spruiking many acts from their roster including Glasser, Bullion, SBTRKT, John Talabot and Chairlift.
With three of the segments down a number of exclusives have already been played including new material from Jamie XX, Bullion and even a mini-mix from Romy XX.
The never-heard-before instrumental from Jamie surfaces on the Tuesday show about midday through, the 49th minute.
Having met Caius, Tick and Katie recently, there is no-one doing it better than the British troupe.
The XX are expected to have finished recording their album within the month…

What started out as a simple ‘Shuffle’ feature has now turned into something a bit more earnest and appealing with Moguai curating not 5 but a whole 9 tracks alongside an audio run-down and video for each.
The Germans brand of big-room electro has leant towards his signing to Deadmau5′s own imprint Mau5trap and has helped surface him as a go-to for thumping originals and in-demand remix duties.
A dance artist commissioned to playfully produce not one but two full-length albums in just as many years? Plainly put it just doesn’t happen with the exception of the German specialist.
What makes an EDM star tick though?
We find out nine tracks that bore the future fruits for this clever and real producer.
Audio: Moguai explains his love for each track
1. Prince – Purple Rain: The best record ever made.
2. Falco – Der Kommisar: My sister influenced me a lot in my taste of music. She heard this song so often in the eighties and I bought the single. I think I was 12 J
3. Phil Collins – You can´t hurry love: Because it was the first record, I danced to.
4. Ben Westbeech – Get Closer: This track is just enjoyable, always puts a smile on my face!
5. Underworld – Rez: I usually don´t go to afterhours, or afterparties.. but if i do, this is the sound i´d like to hear.. still such an amazing track
6. Desmond Deller & The Aces – Israelites: One of my favourite tracks of my Mod / Ska period, reminds me of scooterruns..
7. The Meteors – Wrecking crew: Truly the Kings of Psychobilly!
8. New Order – Blue Monday: Timeless record, one of my alltime favs!
9. Dial M for Moguai – Beatbox: This was my first chart hit in Germany, with a solid “late-90s-EDM-music-video”! After that one I decided to drop my studies in law, and make a living of producing music!
His sophomore album ‘Mpire’ careens forward in an progressive electronic manner, its got the high’s and its got the low’s, the breakdowns and big drops, it’s everything you’d ever want and more and is out today!
